January 22, 2008 - Heath Ledger, the actor best known for his turns in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain and the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight, was found dead this afternoon according to NYTimes.com.
UPDATED: According to the Times' CityBlog article, authorities have now confirmed that Ledger's death is most likely the result of either a suicide attempt or an accidental overdose. Sleeping pills - both prescription and non-prescription - were found on the actor's night table.
Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment by the late actor's masseuse and housekeeper, when the masseuse showed up for her scheduled appointment with the star. Ledger did not answer the knocks on his bedroom door, prompting the masseuse and housekeeper to enter and discover that the actor was unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The article also states that the police do not suspect foul play and that pills were found next to the body.
The actor was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in Brokeback, and will no doubt earn much posthumous praise for his take on the Joker in this summer's sequel to Batman Begins.
More recently he has been working on Terry Gilliam's new fantasy film The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. IGN was on the London set last Friday, and although we didn't speak to the star, he seemed in high spirits, laughing and joking with the crew and performing a series of impressive stunts as part of the shoot. The actor was due in Vancouver later this month to complete the film.
Heath Ledger was 28 years old.
